2021 marks the centenary of the RAAF. To celebrate we will hold a Commemorative Service on Wed March 31.

It’s top honours for 2 of our valued Service Members. Here are their stories.

Our traditional ANZAC Day services are back for 2021. Here is a snapshot of what is planned.

23 of our local veterans received a special 75th Anniversary World War II Commemorative Medallion and Certificate.

We may not have been able to commemorate ANZAC Day in the usual manner but this year we found different ways of coming together in spirit to pay our respects.

Caps, beanies, mugs, stubby holders, stickers and limited edition woollen scarves – there’s lots to choose from and its all available from reception!

Raising much needed funds for our ANZAC and Remembrance Day Appeals wouldn’t happen without the incredible support of our volunteers. Let us introduce some of our valued team.

Twice a year we publish a Newsletter featuring not only reports from our committee and management, but also special member profiles and valuable information about upcoming events.

As part of their Personal Development and Work Related Skills Classes, two Year 12 VCAL students from Shepparton High School have donated a handmade seat in commemoration of the ANZACs.

The best history lesson we can give our kids is to not just read books but to speak with our war veterans, ask questions, be shown our memorabilia and get to touch and feel it.

The Shepparton News published a special 16 page wrap-around filled with stories of local WW1 descendants. They certainly had some stories to tell and some photos and memorabilia to share,.
